Chapter 98 Too Charming

Princess Ningti suddenly became excited, causing two flushes to appear on her delicate cheeks. "Do you think... we could find a way to make that Tiger Demon serve us?" This was not much different from what Qi Cang and Ling Yi thought before. Except, Qi Cang and Ling Yi didn’t know that the Three-Eyed Tiger was at the level of a Demon King then. The thought of controlling such a powerful Demon King made her whole body tremble with excitement. By that time, even those from the Sacred Lands would have to be extremely respectful to her. "You really dare to dream." The green skirt palace maid laughed coldly, her disdain and mockery undisguised. "Do you think you’re worthy?" Princess Ningti dared not argue on the surface, but she was actually quite unconvinced in her heart. "Are you trying to say, Brother Cheng can control the Tiger Demon, so why can’t I?" "I... I don’t dare." "Hmph, I see you dare quite a bit!" The green-skirted lady said coldly, "Some people’s fate is simply something you cannot contend with. What is meant to be his will be his; others who try to take it will only be met with backlash." "I don’t know what happened between them." "But that Three-Eyed Tiger is at the level of a Demon King, even if Jiang Cheng is truly dead, it’s not something you or I are qualified to command." She was quite clear-headed and calm. Not at all like Qi Cang, Ling Yi, and the others, greedy for things beyond their reach. "Then, we..." "Don’t worry, the Demon King is not something we can covet, but we can make use of its power." "You mean..." "Cooperation, alliances! As long as we obtain their power, your and my plans will become easier..." Before she even finished speaking, the surroundings suddenly changed atmosphere. The concentration of spiritual energy in the room suddenly increased, becoming at least twice as rich as before! The spirit veins of the Feixian Sect were originally Tier Four, on par with Eight Clouds Hall. When they arrived here, they were already amazed, wondering how such a small sect with less than a hundred people could occupy such spirit veins. And now, the two women were even more shocked. "What happened?" "How could the concentration of spiritual energy suddenly increase, and by so much?" Such advancement of spirit veins had never occurred in the cultivation realm. They also felt completely puzzled. "Come on, let’s go out and take a look!" On the other side, Jiang Cheng had just dismantled the pearl hairpin he obtained. After taking out the World Heart Fragment inside, he headed straight to Ah Huang’s place. Following this, the fragment was swallowed by Ah Huang. Just like last time, Ah Huang grew another two years, turning into the appearance of an eleven or twelve-year-old girl. When she returned to the spirit veins, the grade of the Feixian Sect’s spirit veins was elevated to Level 5. Being enveloped in such spiritual energy for long, some ordinary grasses and trees would eventually turn into spirit herbs and roots beneficial for cultivation. And some of the wild beasts and birds in the mountains would eventually transform into low-tier demon beasts. Even ordinary people living here who didn’t practice cultivation could extend their lifespan by hundreds of years. From this moment on, the Feixian Sect had unquestionably become a treasured land. The disciples who heard the news gathered with cheers, exclaiming how their cultivation speed could become much faster here. "Congratulations, Sect Leader, felicitations, Sect Leader!" Jiang Cheng didn’t hide the process of feeding the fragment to his daughter from Mo Chen. However, the Upper Immortal had never heard of a World Heart Fragment, only knowing it must be a heaven-defying level treasure. Because nothing in the Immortal Realm had ever been heard of that could enhance spirit veins. Once again, he marveled at Brother Cheng’s extraordinary fate, truly the luck of the Child of the Plane! Such an abundance of fortune was simply unimaginable. As long as he followed him, he was sure to reach ever greater heights in the future! He even had a bizarre thought. Perhaps being knocked down thousands of years ago was preordained by heaven, just so he’d end up as his ’Personal Grandmaster’? "Sect Leader Jiang!" "I was unsure what happened, but I noticed a significant increase in the concentration of spiritual energy." Such a commotion brought Ningti and Xiahou Jun over as well. "Oh, I just used a minor technique to upgrade the spirit veins a bit." To pretend once more, Brother Cheng shamelessly took the credit for himself. After all, his daughter had already entered the spirit vein, and as a father, what his daughter did was as if he did it too. As for letting outsiders know? So what? To be honest, apart from having the ability to resurrect three times a day, everything else didn’t matter if others found out. "What, upgraded the spirit veins?" Ningti and Xiahou Jun were all dumbfounded. They initially thought it was just a temporary increase in spiritual energy, but it was actually the spirit veins, something permanent! "Such an incredible phenomenon, Sect Leader Jiang truly has means beyond measure!" Ningti was unwilling to believe it, but the evidence was undeniable. It seemed that the green-skirted palace maid was right; some people’s fate truly defies the superficial appearances. Brother Cheng purposely wore a calm expression, as if he had done something trivial. "Just a minor scene, done casually, I didn’t expect it to alarm you all." Mo Chen glanced at the sect leader once more, gaining a new understanding of him. "Sect Leader Jiang, first for the offense, and then for lingering overnight, I apologize for the disturbance..." "To express gratitude, this palace wishes to invite Sect Leader Jiang to visit our Longyue Imperial City in the Qianxing Dynasty. What do you say?" Brother Cheng was taken aback, wondering why Ningti’s words sounded so familiar? Sister, what are you planning? Are you planning to do the same as Lu Zhong and Qi Cang of Eight Clouds Hall, inviting me over on the surface, but secretly plotting against me? I’ve been through that scheme once, and the consequences were serious, are you sure you want to mess with fire too? Seeing his strange expression, Ningti thought he had concerns. "What, Sect Leader Jiang doesn’t want to, suspecting ill intentions from this palace?" She suddenly chose to communicate secretly. "To speak the truth, Sect Leader Jiang has unparalleled demeanor, graceful bearing, and immeasurable power... this palace was captivated at first sight and has developed admiration." "Thinking of the separation tomorrow, not knowing when we might meet again, my heart becomes increasingly downcast..." "Therefore, I wished to invite you over." For the sake of grand cooperation, she threw all caution to the wind. Wow! Since coming to this world, it was the first time a girl had so openly confessed to him. Brother Cheng admitted that he felt a bit flattered. The only unsatisfactory thing was that Ningti’s confession was conveyed through secret voice, and others didn’t hear it. Sigh, it failed to achieve the showy effect. "Hahaha, Princess misunderstood, I was just contemplating how to arrange sect affairs after leaving." "As you know, as the head of a sect, I’m inundated with daily affairs..." Ji Linghan and the others whispered to themselves, there aren’t really any major sect affairs. Moreover, have you ever managed affairs? "However, with the Princess’s invitation, I feel greatly honored. I will certainly make time out of my busy schedule; I’m truly delighted!" No matter what their purpose was, he only needed to confront it head-on without thinking too much. Princess Ningti was overjoyed when he agreed. "Then we have an agreement, you know my feelings..." Her demeanor was ever-changing. At this moment, she looked like an innocent young girl in love. Then, in a fragrant breeze, she gracefully departed. Leaving the audience wide-eyed and confused. What agreement? What feelings? All eyes were fixed on Sect Leader Jiang. Brother Cheng shrugged. "There’s nothing I can do; sometimes excessive charm just leads to this."
